Donna Jean Stanford

Donna built a career in paralegal and real estate work, known for steady dedication and an honest, hard-working spirit that earned the respect of those who worked alongside her. In all things, she carried herself with quiet patience and a gentle, thoughtful way of being—qualities that made her not only dependable, but deeply cherished and beloved.

Her kindness was practical and constant, expressed in generous care for others and an open heart that always seemed to have room for one more—especially the next stray puppy dog to join her home. She found comfort and joy in simple, meaningful pursuits, including gardening, knitting, reading, and needlework, and her calm presence could make everyday moments feel cared for and complete.

More than anything, Donna treasured time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The love she gave so freely, and the steady example she set through her considerate, kind-hearted nature, will remain an enduring source of inspiration to all who were fortunate to know her.

She is preceded in death by her brothers; Charles Libby, Clint Libby, Jimmy Libby. Donna is survived by her loving and devoted children; Kimberly Blake, Sherry Upshaw (Jerome), Robert "David" Pittman (Kristy), grandchildren; Darryl Blake (Samantha), Tiffany Upshaw, Andrew Blake, and Matthew Blake (Michaela) and Tyler Mosallam, great grandchildren; Samantha, David, Alexis, Gabriella, Sophia, Zya, Ayden, Emmalee, Allison, Max, Maecy, Mia, Zadie, Grai, Ryder and Peyton. Numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the Spring of 2027.
